The Ruling on Qunut in Times of Calamity and Who Orders It
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Allah informs you, meaning whether it is voluntary prayers or a sacred time, and whether it is the independent reasoning of the believer himself or the faith of the Muslims, and when does it occur?
Answer:
And addressing calamities is among the authorities of the one in authority, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is the one who was content. He is the one who recited the qunut, and he was the authority of the Muslims, so the Muslims followed his example and began to recite the qunut with him. So this returns to the authority of the Muslims. If he orders the qunut for calamities, the Muslims recite the qunut. As for every imam making a decision on his own, this is not permissible. This follows the fatwa and follows the order of the one in authority. Matters are regulated and have references. Yes.
As for him praying by himself and making du'a, there is no harm in that, how is it himself? But if he leads the people and makes du'a, and he has not received an order from the one in authority or a fatwa from the competent authority, this is independent reasoning and wrong. As for him praying and making du'a by himself, it is none of our business, how? Yes.
